“Shelby had a fantastic game,” White said. “Earlier in the season, there were some games when she was struggling. But lately in our tournament and tonight, she has really found her stride.”

The Gators were playing their fifth game in six days after hosting the Gator Winter Classic last week and showed some signs of wear, committing 26 turnovers and shooting 20-for-62 (32.3 percent).

“It worried me that we didn’t get some time to rest and practice and get back into a regular rhythm,” White said. “It took us awhile to get our intensity going, but our intensity really came up in the second half. We wanted to make a statement in our conference that we wanted to improve.”

Gabbie Etopio had 15 points and 15 rebounds to lead Coronado, which also was weary after playing in Houston on Saturday. Haley Morton added 12 points and 13 rebounds and Sade Williams scored 10 for the Cougars.
